Country music is music that country music fans like to listen to; news for nerds is news that nerds like to talk about. The reply count was 191 just now...I'd say this story makes the cut.
The traditional paradigm in the ham world is: Asking your spouse to get a pizza on the way home: OK. Calling Pizza Hut (which you could do via phone patch) and ordering one: Illegal.
In principle, the FCC can take action against your license. In practice, they spend about as much time policing the ham bands as the FBI spends on D. B. Cooper.
In regards to rebar necessity, it is in order to achieve sufficient tensile strength in lesser thicknesses of concrete pours. It is absolutely possible to build a bridge with no rebar, just make the bridge one big slab that extends from the road to the river bed.
For just one of many reasons, airplanes last a long time. Sell a new airplane today, and you have to include enough money in the purchase price to buy a single-premium insurance policy that will protect you against product liability lawsuits for the 30-50 years it normally will last. And if it crashes, regardless of the cause, that lawsuit will come.
Mercaptans, organic compounds that occur naturally in crude oil. They seriously stink; methyl mercaptan is what your gas company puts in the gas so you'll know when you have a leak, and T-butyl mercaptan is essence of skunk. Get car gas on your hands, wash with soap and water, and you'll still smell the mercaptans.
Mercaptans also congeal with age and gum up fuel systems. Aircraft operators take that a little more personally than car owners do, so avgas has the mercaptans refined out.
Not much reason for using it in a car, but good reason for using it in lawnmowers, chainsaws and model airplanes: it leaves less stink on your hands and garage floor.

The trouble with all of these plots, is that the RC plane is already at its maximum load with its fuel.
I suspect all the RC airplanes you've seen were at Radio Shack. A couple of random examples:

So, did Princip's action threaten the state or not?
I believe that was my point.
Gavrilo Princip rearranged the map of Europe with two pistol shots.
Not if Billy Barty's involved...

Ummm, they certainly have. "The pearl is in the river" is just another form of encryption, and just as illegal on the ham bands as AES.

I believe Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote a narrative about that.
In regards to rebar necessity, it is in order to achieve sufficient tensile strength in lesser thicknesses of concrete pours. It is absolutely possible to build a bridge with no rebar, just make the bridge one big slab that extends from the road to the river bed.
Ummm, I believe that would be called a dam.
It's half of a Moller Skycar.
Whoooossshhh...
What harm can another few do?
...that The Beverly Hillbillies hasn't already...

It also smells different. I don't know why.

Are you stupid? are all of you?
Welcome to the H. L. Mencken principle...
Yeah, he ought to specify how good he is. You know, include his World of Warcraft level.
Well, it's not smart to eat a lot of curry, if it's your first time.
Why, ummm, yes, as far back as Vietnam.
...a cup of Kopi Luwak with it.
So many companies has invested and lost their money
Ummm, no. Many companies have tried and lost someone else's money, less a little something for the proprietors. That's how the flying-car scam works.
I'd question your University's quality of education.
At least the English department...
